Working hours
On this page you can read more about how working hours are regulated at Lund University.
If you are employed as technical and administrative staff (T/A staff), you are normally covered by the flexitime agreement. For teachers, working hours are governed by the working hours agreement for teachers, and for researchers by the working hours agreement for researchers. In a small number of departments, irregular working hours apply due to staffing requirements that fall outside the scope of the flexitime agreement.
